### sec.193B Consideration of application for transfer
The regulator must consider the application having regard to the objects of this Act and may transfer, or refuse to transfer, the transmission authority.

the proposed transferee will operate the transmission grid to which the authority relates; and
the proposed transferee is a suitable person to be a transmission entity; and
the proposed transferee meets the additional criteria prescribed under a regulation.
In deciding whether the proposed transferee is a suitable person to be a transmission entity, the regulator may consider the matters mentioned in section 189 (3) as if the proposed transferee were applying for the issue of the authority.
